Here at Mercy UK we have a passion for God, passion for people and passion for excellence – this means we are committed to becoming an organisation where team members feel supported, valued and challenged to deepen their personal and professional growth. As an agile and fast-moving team, we seek to give our very best to what we do in attitude and activity.

As a Pastoral Support Worker, you carry heart and passion for the emotional, mental and spiritual health of the incredible women who are residents of the Mercy UK home. You have a unique set of skills; bringing together keen organisational and administrative skills with pastoral people skills. You are a cheerleader and at times, a coach to a diverse set of residents, all of whom are wired differently, with different learning styles, outlooks and life experiences but all of whom are united in their pursuit for freedom from life-controlling issues and into intimacy in their relationship with God, self and others.

You are safe hands as the primary point of contact and support for residents during evenings and weekends and your experience and abilities in pastoral support and communication equips you to deliver a fun yet informative schedule. You are able to perceive the needs of the group as well as the individual resident and you can hold these in tension. You are confident in your judgement and decision-making and understand the importance of working as a team and seeking guidance, where needed.

As residents wrestle through their own healing journey and put into practice all they are learning, you can prayerfully direct them, support and signpost them towards healthy choices and ways in which they can strengthen themselves in their own relationship with God, understanding that your best days are when you are in overflow in your own discipleship journey.

The Communications Assistant will work closely with other members of the hospital charity, in particular the Communications Manager and Charity Chief Executive, to efficiently promote the activities of the hospital charity to a wide audience.

This role would suit someone looking to develop their skills in media, communication plans and creative content.

You'll be pitching stories to TV, radio, press and magazine contacts and supporting those stories on social media, planning innovative and exciting social media campaigns, writing features, promoting our wide range of fundraising events and appeals and telling stories about people who do extraordinary and heart-warming things to help support patients at Birmingham’s busiest hospitals. 

As well as generating positive media coverage, the successful candidate will update the Charity’s websites and social media pages, attend Charity events and help compile the Charity’s quarterly newsletters.

Central London, like many cities across the world, is an exciting and stimulating place. However, for some, it is a place to go when things have gone profoundly wrong and there is nowhere else. When people are on the edge, homeless, isolated and in despair there must be a place to turn. The Connection is there to be with people as they overcome that isolation, recover and move on to a meaningful, fulfilling life.

The experiences of people on the edge matter. Their story must be told to those in a position of power and influence, so that homelessness, exclusion and isolation are not acceptable features of life in the UK.

The Connection at St. Martin’s empowers those who are on the edges of society to take control of their lives by:

• Providing practical support in an active environment designed to help people to recognise their own strengths, recover from crisis and move on;

• Collaborating with others who share our vision and mission not just in London, but other parts of the UK and the world;

• Sharing our learning with others, to deepen our own understanding and create a more socially just society for those on the margins.

About the role:

The Fundraising Assistant is a new opportunity join an ambitious and forward-thinking Fundraising & Communications team. The post-holder will play a major part in the team by working across all income streams to engage and look after our supporters in order to maximise involvement with our work.

About you:

This role requires a thoughtful and ambitious individual, keen to develop a career in fundraising and get experience across a range of fundraising disciplines. We are looking for a personable and professional self-starter with strong communication skills who can help us build relationships with our donors and support them to experience the impact of their commitment to the charity. The post holder must have also strong administrative skills and be able to co-ordinate a number of important processes for the team to make us more efficient and effective. 

You may have a background in a customer service environment or experience of working in a fundraising team and/or a charity environment.  Specific work experience is not essential.
